  • The Union Health Minister, Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, dedicated three CGHS Wellness Centers in Alaknanda, Rohini Sector -16, Vasant Vihar to the nation, serving 44 lakh beneficiaries across 80 cities.

  • Central Government Health Scheme is a health scheme for serving retired central government employees and their families.

  • The inauguration of a robotic unit at the National Institute of TB and Respiratory Diseases was also done to provide better surgical care to patients suffering from tuberculosis.

  • The Health Ministry also revised the package rates of CGHS packages in the empaneled private hospitals.

  • This will, therefore, enable the beneficiaries to access quality healthcare services at affordable rates.

  • The National Health Authority platform is deployed for this purpose, similar to the one applied for Ayushman Bharat.

  • Jan Aushadhi medicines will also be provided in these Wellness Centres, not just for the CGHS beneficiaries, but for all the public.
